SMOKY MOUNTAIN MYSTERIES
Stories About Magnificent Mountains and Unique People

[ Home ] The Melungeons ] Story Excerpts ] Readers Page ]


Welcome ...
to my niche for mysteries about ... people ... places ... ghosts.

I've collected hundreds of stories, and published some of them in my book Smoky Mountain Mysteries. You're invited to preview the book, and read a complete chapter  - "The Melungeons - People of Mystery."

Although you won't find the Melungeons in many American history books, they were living in America before European explorers arrived. When they pushed into the Smoky Mountains in the 17th century, they found people speaking Elizabethan English with a mountain cadence and practicing the Christian religion! How they got here is an unsolved mystery!
